The news of Han's pregnancy was naturally told by Liu Fengyi.
The Crown Princess didn't really care about Han Chenghui's child anymore, but it would be good if she could get her to miscarry through Ye Liangdi's help.
Han Chenghui's miscarriage was certainly not caused by Ye Liangdi.
She was drugged.
But after so many days, nothing has been found.
Naturally, Ye Liangdi had to take the blame. Han Chenghui was quite sensible; afterwards, he only cried and said that Ye Liangdi was heartless, saying that she herself was pregnant and yet she had still harmed her, and so on.
At this moment, Luo Liangyuan came out and said that Han Chenghui cried every night, disturbing her sleep, so she came to ask Han Chenghui to move out.
Fortunately, the Crown Princess arranged for the person to stay at Fuyu Pavilion.
Although Fuyu Pavilion is a bit small, it is still quite tidy. It would be a shame if there was another pavilion at the back.
It was right next to the outer wall, and also next to the kitchen.
It still smells bad from people coming and going; it's considered the worst pavilion in the mansion. Originally, it didn't have a name.
Just because Li Zhaoxun was sent back and demoted, she was sent here by the Crown Princess.
It was only after she lived there that she was given the name Xigezi.
This place is obviously not a good place, so even if Fuyu Pavilion is better, it is clear that Han Chenghui is no longer useful here.
She dared not say anything and could only move in quietly.
Shu Chengfeng will send people to investigate, but he won't send anyone to protect a member of the Han family.
The Crown Princess naturally wouldn't take action now, as she knew things shouldn't be taken too far.
Since Ye Liangdi's pregnancy is so stable, it's not advisable to make a move for the time being.
Even if we force her to give birth, there are ways to deal with it later.
However, Han Chenghui still died.
On the third night after she moved to Fuyuge.
Because there wasn't enough room for her maids after they moved here, several of them had to stay in the mansion's designated maid quarters. At night, only two people would serve her, one to rest and the other to keep watch.
After Han Chenghui suffered a miscarriage, he felt unwell all over and asked his maid to go to the kitchen to ask for some hot food.
He didn't return for a while, and when he did, he found Han Chenghui dead.
His face was ashen, and his lips were tinged with purple.
Black liquid was oozing from its mouth and nose, clearly indicating it died of poisoning.
This caused great alarm and alarmed the entire household.
No one in the manor was afraid; the manor physician examined the body and said it had died from arsenic poisoning.
Another maid who was serving there said that Chenghui wanted to drink porridge, so she brought it over and drank it herself. Since she didn't want to be served by her anymore, she went out first.
Since moving here has brought inconveniences, she boils water in the porch.
Because Chenghui has miscarried, she needs to wash her feet with hot water every day to fall asleep without abdominal pain...
In just a short while, Chenghui died of poisoning.
However, after examining the bowl of porridge, the physician found traces of arsenic.
The little girl was shocked; they had cooked the red bean porridge themselves, without it even going through the kitchen…
The Crown Princess had a bad feeling.
Han Chenghui's death makes it seem as if she was trying to silence him!
He was furious and ordered a thorough investigation.
Ye Liangdi wasn't particularly clever, but she had her own sharp wit, and she advised her to seize the opportunity.
However, the Crown Princess reacted quickly, immediately rebuking Consort Ye for being so vicious.
Even if Han Chenghui did something wrong, it's not enough to keep harassing her after she miscarried, is it?
Besides, from the Crown Princess's perspective, she was saying that Han Chenghui was innocent.
After all, the Crown Princess deliberately misled Consort Ye, making her believe that it was Han Chenghui who delivered the dress to the main courtyard.
But the Crown Princess would never admit it; she would only say that the dress came in from outside.
As for the man in the village, he should be ready to be buried by now.
It can be said that this time, the Crown Princess was playing a calculated, open scheme.
Even if the crown prince knew, there was nothing he could do.
Ye Liangdi also wanted to confirm that it was Han Chenghui who had taken the discarded garment to the main courtyard, but now Han Chenghui was dead...
There's no way to prove it now that the dead are dead.
For a time, everyone was a suspect.
In the end, it was the Empress herself who personally summoned Aunt Fei.
After paying her respects to the Crown Princess in the main courtyard, Aunt Fei said, "If this gets out, even His Majesty in the palace will know. It's really embarrassing. His Highness just stepped out, and it's already caused such a commotion. Now, Han Chenghui and the child in her womb have both died."
"It was Ye Liangdi's maid who was so useless, causing all these troubles. She has gone where she should have gone. Let's leave it at that. As for Han Chenghui, since she was not a good person and spread rumors, she is gone now, let's let it go. The Empress's idea is that the Crown Princess and Ye Liangdi are, after all, sisters from the same household."
"Of course, Her Majesty also said that Consort Ye is ignorant and often offends the principal wife. I hope that Your Highness the Crown Princess will be lenient. After she gives birth, Her Majesty the Empress will naturally teach her a good lesson."
"Aunt Fei, you flatter me. I was also troubled by these matters... Sigh. It's shameful for a girl to have a relationship with outsiders, no matter what. Who would have thought it would lead to all this trouble? It turns out Han Chenghui was jealous... which caused all this trouble. I was also at fault in this matter. Now, it's really too late to say anything. When Your Highness returns, I will properly apologize."
“Your Highness the Crown Princess is not right. As the Crown Princess and the mistress of the household, it is natural for you to be in charge of these matters. I’m sorry to have troubled you. Her Majesty the Empress knows your grievances and helplessness. She said that she shares your feelings. Let’s just let this matter rest. Whoever suffers a loss should suffer a little, and whoever feels wronged should feel wronged. It’s all for His Highness’s sake,” said Aunt Fei.
"Yes, thank you for your teachings, Mother. I have remembered them all," the Crown Princess hurriedly replied.
Aunt Fei comforted her for a while and then left.
The Crown Princess was furious.
In her eyes, the one who killed Han Chenghui was probably Ye Liangdi's man.
She herself may not be able to do it, but she has people around her.
From Ye Liangdi's perspective, it was as if the Crown Princess had killed someone to silence them.
She must have framed him first, and now, fearing the news would leak out, she killed Han Chenghui.
As for Liu Fengyi, who was truly harboring treachery, no one knew. Even the Crown Princess no longer paid attention to her.
Inside Mingyue Pavilion, Ning Chenghui coughed for a long time before he could catch his breath and drink some hot water.
"You've only been a month old, and you've already caught a cold. Oh dear, you really need to take good care of yourself," the maid said cautiously.
"It's alright. It's just a psychological issue for me, it will get better in time." Since being pressured to have a baby, Ning Chenghui has been keeping a low profile and recuperating after childbirth.
Now that she's a month old, she hasn't gone to the main hospital, and she's caught a cold, so she just asked for leave to do a proper postpartum confinement.
The Crown Princess didn't make things difficult for her and even rewarded her with a lot of tonics.
They also instructed the kitchen to prepare a variety of nourishing dishes for her.
"The whole mansion is in an uproar. Oh, how cruel my sister is."
The girl lowered her head and said, "Yes."
Ning Chenghui smiled again: "Concubines have lowly lives. If they have no backing, no skills, and no favor, they are lucky if they can live a peaceful old age."
Looking at the blooming flowers outside the window, she thought, "Those who die on the road can only be said to have bad luck."
